👉 Murphy-Light particles, also known as light particles or photons, are fundamental entities that represent discrete packets of electromagnetic energy. Named after physicists John A. Murphy and others who contributed to their theoretical understanding, these particles are the smallest units of light that can exist independently. They are characterized by their massless nature, infinite speed in a vacuum (approximately 299,792 kilometers per second), and quantized energy levels. Light particles interact with matter through various processes, such as absorption, emission, and scattering, but they do not have a physical size or mass in the classical sense. Instead, they are described by quantum mechanics, where their properties are governed by principles like wave-particle duality and quantization. Murphy-Light particles are essential in explaining phenomena ranging from the photoelectric effect to the behavior of light in quantum fields.
